I'm hooked on both. My .41 is an old style Ruger Blackhawk, Speer 220 gr half jacket, semi-wad, 18 gr. 2400 is insane accurate; then I went and bought an old style Ruger Blackhawk .45 LC 7-1/2" bbl; cast 300 gr semi-wad and gas check, H-110...another insanely accurate. I purchased an old style .44 mag Super Black to round them out and have never fired it...hooked on the .45. I like the old-style Blackhawks because you can clean up the trigger with no creep and Very Low trigger pull. I had a gunsmith, Ruger retired [only worked on Rugers] check them out, clean up the triggers and set the pull at 1 lb. - sweet & clean.Count me in. I had a 6" M57 and then found a 4". Sold the 6" and regret it.
But I still have the 4", and it's not going anywhere.
I like Missouri Bullet's 215 gr SWC with 8 gr Green Dot (plinking loads) or 18 gr 296 (real loads).
.41 Mag is my second most carried and shot revolver cartridge, after .45 LC. If I could only have one, I honestly don't know which way I'd go.

No problem Bob. My name is Bob and my wife tells me I'm wrong all the time. The one I sent off was indeed smaller. Can't say they all were, only the one I have personal experience with. It was built in '68 I believe. I have a 3 screw 41 magnum built in 1970 and it is on the large frame. When I pulled my "new model" out of the safe, visually they are the same size. The bluing on the 3 screw is far and away better than the newer one and the only other difference is the 4 clicks.
It looks a lot like the model 629's made by the Smith Performance Center.
Love that short barrel Smith 41 mag!
... it's a Dan Wesson.) Not to say they aren't some very nice revolvers, that's for sure. The Lew Horton 3" .41 some years ago sure tempted me...

Thank you for the help! I checked a few websites without luck!
